Hang in there.

I agree. Finding activity (I paint when I am unable to get outside) is a great answer. Avoiding boredom is so very helpful for me.
Something that has been helpful to me is that I avoid doing my groceries weekly. I do so on a near daily basis. This means I avoid getting things I don't require, getting only those I actually need. By shopping in this manner. I just don't have that food to munch on to begin with.
In my own experience I have been gradually losing weight. Oh I still need to do so but I am now below that of where I was prior to diagnosis ( and the intro of meds in my case).
Combat boredom. Change shopping habits.
